School Notes:

  • One characteristic that parents find unique about Bay Ridge Prep is our willingness to look at each child as an individual. This child-centered approach helps to bring out a child's strengths, develop their weaknesses, and help the child develop a better understanding of themselves. This requires knowledge of child development, flexibility, and hard work on the part of the teachers and administration. It requires a more in-depth level of understanding of each child, and a willingness to meet each child's needs. The result of such an approach, however, is a more motivated student who becomes interested in learning, and excited about coming to school.
  • Given the amount of time a child spends in school each day, the school environment provides a great opportunity to influence children in a positive way. At Bay Ridge Prep, teachers are specially trained to cultivate emotional intelligence and a positive self-image. Through role modeling and discussion, students learn how to treat others with respect and learn multiple strategies for dealing with conflict.
  • We also have several programs to accommodate children with different learning styles. For children with specific learning disabilities, we have the Bridge Program. Because many students may be weak in one area and advanced in others, we have a mainstreaming component that allows students to excel in areas in which they are strong and receive help in areas that require support. For children who just need extra support, we have a Support Services program that assists students with the daily course work or focuses on specific skill deficits.
